Steve, I recall having to set dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf before I could get FreeBSD to reboot automatically after a panic. I have dumpdev=AUTO set on all of my headless servers. If you are feeling especially brave, you can also set fsck_y_enable=YES and background_fsck=NO. Good luck! ;) -- "I slashread your textcast about jargon and nodnodnod with your cyber-sentiment." - gad_zuki! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It only seems to not reboot on one system I have. Thanks, Steve -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
